While youth athletes regain their national identity, senior fencers will continue to compete under existing neutral conditions. This move aligns with the IOC's emphasis on ensuring athletes' access to competition without political interference.

Concerns have been raised regarding CMAS's assessment of Greece's medical capabilities and the implementation of previous safety recommendations. The incident has led to the resignation of the CMAS Athletes’ Commission president and intensified calls for greater transparency and accountability within the sport's governance.
